This is my next mod for the car...

Which one should i buy? Has someone owned both of them? Any comments or opinions would be great!

 

The main difference in them is that the Stillen one is adjustable for how stiff you want it. I have the Stillen RSB and LOVE it. But I cant say how it differs from the addco one.

I have the Addco RSB, when I purchased the bar months ago I did some research comparing the Stillen bar vs. the Addco bar, and many say they do the exact same thing. The only difference is that the Stillen is adjustable as 1/3There2/3ToGo says, although why would you set the bar on any setting other than the stiffist?...and the price, Stillen-$220 vs. Addco-$160. I recommend the Addco...

 

Addco - less expensive, good performance, not adjustable, urethane bushing/endlink (may squeek/flex)

Stillen - more expensive, good performance, adjustable, metal endlink bracket (doesn't squeek or flex).

 

As far as RSB's and FSTB's go, stillen probubly makes the best ones. BUT, they also charge way to much (In my opinion). Have you checked out ebay lately ??? They have FSTB's starting at 18 bucks !! Some even are fully adjustable.

Now, Stillen might make the lightest, most high quality kind, but is it really worth the extra 185 bucks!? I don't think so.

 

I just Installed my Addco that I bought for $73.00 Here on the Org and I LOVE IT..! I don't know hold OLD it really is, but I put it on and took it out for a test spin and I can Feel it baby..! Can you..?

No but really, I also asked Mrs. MegaMax to drive it around and when she cornered she just looked at me and Smiled..! Best $73.00 I spent Next to the $15.00 worth of Raffle ticket that WON me my Free RSTB..!!!

 

I do...

contrary to popular belief, the ADDCO RSB IS ADJUSTIBLE.

 

How so? Changing the placement of the bushings?...

I chose Stillen over Addco. At the limits, both work equally well. I just think that the Stillen bar can be more aggressive on moderate turns. I put my RSB as far forward as possible, more than recommended, lol. About 2-3 inches past the rear beam (towards the front of the car). Let me tell you, that makes a whole lot of differnce.

Sometimes I get scared when I turn, it's a lot quicker, and sharper!

 

I had an easier time with the Addco...I had to run to Home Depot to get longer bolts for the Stillen unit. The Stillen bar lost a few nuts over time. The Addco is adjustable, but it's more trouble than it's worth...you have to disassemble the bar and reinstall. Performance is about the same. I'd go Addco...money issue.

 

I just got the addco $149 shipped. Just can't imagine I'd notice a $90 difference for the stillen unit. as for adjustability, im not an autocross driver so once it's installed, it's on--then, i'm on to the next mod!

 

As long as i can still put on the RSB (addco) myslef then i'm a happy guy! I'll save the 90 bucks or whatever and buy something else wiht them!!
Thanx for all the input guys i'll post my results once i have it installed...

hmm...i'll spend the money on side markers...i love those things!!!

 

The Addco is adjustable people!!!! Don't waste your $$$$ with $tillen prices. Look on E-bay as well, theres tons of awsome stuff up there for the Max.

 

Once again, Lets act like Im from Missouri - SHOW ME!!!
